I Hate Systems by Overlord_Venus

Yep, that is true. But, unlike a paperback novel, you have an option on webnovels. If you like a novel, you can unlock some chapters with a Fast Pass. If what you are reading isn't up to the mark, you can drop it, no money wasted. But with a paperback, you have already purchased it in its entirety. You have no other choice there.

Also, the first 40-70 chapters on webnovel are free. Wordcount-wise, they are already as much as a paperback. So, you have an entire book to read for free to decide if it is worth to read further or not. I don't want to make a wall of text here, but if you want, you can search the related terms on webnovel forum. You'll see entire discussions related to this there.

It's not like I am telling you to stop reading here or anything. But more like, 'You can read on Webnovel for free too. You just can't binge as usual without spending.'

You can't judge smth by free part. Till authors knows about free trial they make it as good as they can but ...
Do you know about steam refund? Many games make very good first quest and when 2hr over game become pumpkin.
i'm bad in explanation but i think you get the point. You can judge smth only by yourself experience or third party review and WN make review useless. WN make everything to complicate choose new novel to read, you can only blind choose smth and hope it's not become shit at one point. But it will become coz find smth good is hard but find money making machine really easy, like harems and other low quality shit for kids whose have infinite time to push up rating by activity.

About difference between full purchase and per chap:
When you buy full book you get finalized thing in every aspect. Every book has it's own ending even it's part of series.
When you buy per chap, it's definitely not finished and most time not proofreaded and redacted. If you will notice that author start dragging and will chose to drop, you will feel worse than buy bad book. Why you think novel rate can drop from 4.8 to 2-3 when author finished novel and ending is opened shit with unclosed arcs? When you drop per chapter paying novel it's like money waste, you don't get good emotion and you spend more money (as guy above say: one book cost like few chaps). Moreover you know that novel can be good, but author make it bad themselves. Better not start to pay for it at all...

P.S. I'm respect you for your position. You make good stuff, but i don't have money :(.
P.P.S Fast passes never be enough. I dont know about novel reader that read only 1 or 2 novel...

What you said makes sense. But yeah, I won't defend anyone or the webnovel format. I'm neither a big author nor do I have authority on this matter. The only thing I can promise you is that I'll maintain quality in my novels. That's all, nothing more, nothing less. If it earns me enough, I'll continue writing until I finish it.

It's fine that you don't have enough money to buy paid chapters. No worries about that. I spent the majority of my reader years on Novelplanet. All I ask is that if you like my novel, do consider voting for my novel on Webnovel. And, if you wish to leave any comments, do leave them there.

That'll help boost my novel up my rankings. Feel free to read here, but do vote and comment on my novel in webnovel. That'll be enough help :)

Your opinions have won my respect.

Thank you for your input author-sama, it's not often I get to see the actual author show up on sites like this. Keep up the good work, and good luck with the earnings :)

That's what I'M SAYING

Webnovel actually released a subscription model before. Readers rejoiced since they were able to binge without trouble. But, seems they didn't put much thought into the model and ended up scrapping it after two months.

As for reading 150 chaps per day...well, I understand, I've done the same (Though, my numbers were better than your 150 rookie numbers).

Back to the point, just create a webnovel account and read my novel there (once you catch up to the latest chapter here.) If you use fast passes to read it for free there, vote, and comment there, it'll help me a lot.

I can't force you, but yeah, simple support like this would help me in the long run.

I will if I read your novel, I'm busy with another one right now

Haha author just roasted you

Me who reads less than 100 chaps a day:
